Since February, the Grizzlies'' record is still excellent.


    At the beginning of the month, after link''s 2 + 1 victory over the Suns, the Grizzlies continued to win the jazz, the hawks and the nets.


    In addition to being killed by the Timberwolves, the grizzly bear did not have any other accidents.


    Although the record of 14 consecutive wins was ended, it still failed to surpass the warriors'' 16 consecutive wins. But so far, the Grizzlies'' 44-7 record keeps them firmly at the top of the league.


    The Golden State warrior''s current record is 41-9, still under the weight of Grizzlies.


    Before the all star game, the Grizzlies had established their dominant position in the league.


    Judging from the record, the grizzly''s February seems to have been a smooth one. Randolph and Gasol continued to return, but also let the Grizzlies inside the crisis again.


    But the "Curse of injury" is still shrouded in the Grizzlies, their inside line just out of the crisis, the outside line ushered in a series of injury outbreaks.


    The game against Timberwolves, old Carter left foot muscle tear, return date is not set.


    Carter is old after all, his injury situation is expected by the team.


    When Carter was introduced, the Grizzlies considered the risk of Carter''s injury. And this kind of risk that can be predicted in advance is bearable by Grizzlies.


    Although Carter is an important force on the Grizzlies'' bench, his injury is not likely to have a big impact on the Grizzlies.


    Grizzly reserves the most position is position two and three, so Carter was injured, there are still people can top up.


    But to the Grizzlies'' surprise, after Carter, Mike Conley fell.


    Conley played only 17 minutes in the Grizzlies'' home win over the nets on February 10 when he sprained his ankle.


    Conley sprained his ankle in the process of a layup. At that time, Conley fell to the ground in pain and couldn''t stand up.


    Finally, it was link and igordala who held Conley from left to right and helped him off the court.


    Ankle sprain is the most common injury on the basketball court. If you don''t twist your ankle, you are embarrassed to say that you have played in NBA.


    In general, an ankle sprain doesn''t have a big impact on an athlete. The light may be able to play in the next game, and the heavy one can only rest for a week or two.


    As long as it doesn''t hurt the tendons and bones, it''s easy to say anything.


    Chief team doctor Maun checked Conley''s injury in the first place and quickly gave Conley''s recovery time - two weeks.


    Two weeks, in terms of the length of the season, it''s nothing.


    But in a month''s time, it is equivalent to missing half of the game.


    Conley is different from Carter. In some ways, Carter can be replaced by others.


    However, there is no player in the same position in the Grizzlies team to replace Conley. Although delavidova is a good player, his ability to organize attacks, score independently and command the overall situation is not comparable to Conley.


    Conley is one of the best defenders in the west, but such a reputation is unlikely to apply to delavidova.


    What''s more, after the Grizzlies smashed the nets at home, they would immediately rush to Oklahoma to fight the thunder.


    Although the thunder side is short of Durant, but they are gradually on the right track of morale, and are fully prepared for this game.


    At present, thunder is only half a game away from the eighth sun in the West. That is to say, as long as thunder can win Grizzlies, they can be officially ranked in the top eight!


    For thunder, getting into the playoffs is the first step. Otherwise, the finals will be empty talk.


    Whether it is Westbrook or the rest of the thunder team, will not miss this opportunity to be in the top eight.


    The Grizzlies are fighting back-to-back without Conley, which is much worse than thunder.


    Before the game started, the defending champion had fallen into the wind.


    So when link arrived at Will Rogers airport in Oklahoma City, tired, he didn''t go on talking.


    "There is no doubt that it will be a difficult game for us. I know Westbrook is full of energy and I know he''s excellent. But we''ll do our best. We don''t want to lose again until the all star game starts


    Link''s answer was quite "mild" compared with the past.


    Journalists are used to link''s outspoken appearance, when he suddenly becomes gentle, the reporters are a bit caught off guard.


    So on February 11, before the Grizzlies and thunder game began, the media all over the world think that link is soft.


    "He knew he couldn''t win all the best of the month of the season, so he softened up ahead of time. Link is a smart man. He''ll find his way down in advance


    "It seems that link has no confidence in this game. Psychologically, thunder has won."


    "Westbrook may do something Durant never did, and that is to crush link completely!""Is it time for link to get his wig ready in advance? I can''t imagine his bald head. "


    Lin Ke really didn''t expect that he would be attacked by the media when he became gentle. Sure enough, what you did in the eyes of sunspot was wrong.


    When you are rude, you should be scolded and arrogant. If you change your temper, you will be said to be afraid of losing.


    But link this time did not have the heart to fight with the media, Conley''s injury, so that the Grizzlies must change their previous play overnight.


    The absence of the core point guard is a big blow to any team.


    But Dave Joel is not worried, because Grizzlies have never been a single core team.


    "Link, I need you to play number one tonight!"


    In the Chesapeake energy arena''s visiting team locker room, Joel''s first words attempted to solve the Grizzlies'' biggest problem.


    For most teams in this league, the first place in the main force is hard to replace.


    But in Grizzlies, in Joel''s hands, he has a super player who can play from position one to position five.


    When Gasol and Randolph are injured, link can go to the inside. Now Conley is injured and link can still connect seamlessly.


    Link nodded, not much surprised by the decision.


    If the Australian player doesn''t have the strength to play as the main player, then he will play as the main player.


    After excluding delavidova, the Grizzlies still have three outstanding organizational players: igordala, Gasol and link.


    There seems to be no need to worry about choosing one of the three to play in the first place.


    Gasol has always been unable to control the ball, igordala is able to control and pass, with a wide vision. But in all these aspects, link can do better than igordala.


    Using link to play number one, you can also make link directly with Westbrook!


    There is no doubt that this is an option with more than one shot.


    No doubt, he nodded. In fact, before Joel spoke, link knew that he might replace Conley.


    That''s good, so that link can put his whole mind on Westbrook.


    Although grizzly bear and thunder are old enemies, but in the past, link is fighting Durant.


    In fact, there was not much contact with Westbrook.


    Today, link is finally able to fight with Westbrook.


    A direct contest between the best two top candidates of the Western month... Link will kill Westbrook.


    Invincible? Then I''ll kill the tortoise!
